Default RE: Buddy boxing different brands

Hi again,

OK, I guess you found my website (also to be found in my signature below).
So when looking at first glance into my website, it's obvious that connecting different brands can be a hassle. It's particulary a hassle when 2 programmable transmitters of a different brand are involved.

So if you still have to buy a transmitter, and you really want to buddy with a specific brand, then buy the same brand. Period.

Horizon-Hobby sells a buddy lead to connect Futaba/Hitec (round-DIN-connector only) as slave to a JR as master (16USD). I tested one without any problem. This lead is NOT reversible. With some soldering to obtain an adaptor-lead, this lead can be used for a Futaba with square connector. Really a pity that this great and cheap product is not (yet) available with the square connector.
